* Always give at least two options. At a bare minimum, you should always have an option that says, "Let's talk about something else," that leads back to a node where you can say, "Goodbye." You may think that your dialogue is riveting and no one could possibly want to stop reading/hearing it, but believe me -- someone out there does.
Good advice, Josh! Quick question though: why is it necessary to return to the main menu to log off a conversation? Why can't the player say "Goodbye" from any node? I bet there's a really good reason for this, because it's in just about every RPG ever!
